Windows

What issue are you seeing?

Environment:

  • OS: Windows
  • Codex Desktop: 26.527.31326
  • Microsoft Store/MSIX package observed: 26.527.3686.0
  • Connector: Canva

Issue:
When connecting the Canva connector, the browser shows "Authorization Successful", but Codex does not complete the connector setup.

Immediately after OAuth success, Windows shows an Electron error:

"Error launching app"
"Unable to find Electron app at C:\Program ...\oauth_callback?code=..."
"Cannot find module 'C:\Program ...\oauth_callback?code=...'"

Expected:
Codex should receive the OAuth callback and mark the Canva connector accessible. Canva tools should be injected into Codex.

Actual:
The connector remains inaccessible:

  • Canva connector remains isAccessible=false
  • Canva appears as installable connector
  • Canva search/create/edit tools are not injected into the Codex tool list

Notes:
It looks like the OAuth callback URL is being interpreted as part of the Electron app path instead of being passed as a callback/deep-link argument. The callback code is appended after C:\Program..., causing Electron to search for a non-existent app/module path.

I can reproduce after restarting Codex.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
